The Hollywood Reporter has uploaded another set of award season roundtable interviews, this time with several of the year’s highly regarded directors including David O. Russell (The Fighter), Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan), Lisa Cholodenko (The Kids are All Right), Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine), Peter Weir (The Way Back) and Tom Hooper (The King’s Speech) and I haven’t yet watched the 68-minute long interview, but I did watch a couple of the excerpts including the first one I have below in which the group discusses the MPAA.
The opening of the conversation deals with Blue Valentine‘s initial NC-17 rating, also talks about The King’s Speech and how it got an R-rating for 17 utterances of the word “f**k” and then Aronofsky adds his opinion. Then, the second clip involves David O. Russell and the on set issues that have been widely reported from his ordeal with George Clooney on Three Kings and then the turmoil involving Lily Tomlin on I Heart Huckabees.
After that, I’ve included the complete 68-minute long interview.
Full one hour and eight minute video…
